Default Pedal commander?? YES

For anyone on the fence on spending $300 for something like this.. I have two words.. DO IT! It totally transforms the truck. Now, wheelspin is an issue, even you trac control on. Its that good. I have it on sport + 1 or +2 and it feels like 75 more hp, on part throttle where you are at 99.999% of the time. To me its works better on the street then a tune does. I had a dyno tune on my Mustang GT a few years back and it ended up costing my like $600 for the customs tunes, dyno time and handheld tuner. Im being totally honest here. Plus no issues with warranty which for me is a huge Plus. Watch on Ebay and such like I did and scored a used one for $150 shipped. Its so touchy now i had to put it on eco -4 when my wife drives it All the positive reviews are not fake like some say.

Pedal commander is a HUGE 5 thumbs up.

Santa brought me one, installed it yesterday, I've got it set a "City +1" & I'm pleased with how much smoother the throttle response is at low speeds, no more jerks or hesitations. Don't pay full price, search Google, there's always coupons that knock off at least 15%. Got mine black Friday $60 off.

Has anyone tried it in in the ECO modes? Success with MPG or no change?

It's basically just a throttle config where it changes how much throttle per movement in the pedal correct? So technically if you press your pedal differently now you could achieve the same thing, pressing more for more "performance" and lighter presses for more "eco"?

I understand this thing may make that much easier to achieve especially when switching back and forth. With my 80+ miles a day commute even a +1 mpg increase would be awesome. I already try to stay out of boost when possible so I wonder if this would help at all in my case and the way that I drive.

I like that it is removable, but still seems like a pain to do that even for oil changes. I would forget and be sitting in the parking lot removing it quick before I dropped it off lol.

According to the instructions that came with it, you don't have to remove it when taking it in for service at the dealer, you only have to turn it "off". Myself, I'd just unplug it and leave it tie wrapped under the dash where I mounted it.

Can you do me a huge favor? I bought mine used with no instructions. Can you scan ot take pics of your instruction manual and get it to me? Thanks!!

And I know why Ford dials in such lag with the 5.0 not that i can dial it out out too. Wheelspin. When I put it on sport +1, and turn off the TC, i cannot launch it at all more then 1/3 throttle without roasting the rear tires.

You're welcome. Instructions are pretty basic, wish they had a PDF I could download so I don't have to save the box.
